STRIKE

Naturally, I want to immerse myself in the local culture (however, I will draw the line at snails and foie gras) so today I participated in a very ancient French tradition: a strike! It was a general strike and as far as teachers are concerned, apparently there is a law being drafted which will mean that if the English teacher is ill, then the PE or Physics or Music teachers will have to stand in for them to teach English and vice versa. Can you imagine? So I had a very nice day lazing around, catching up on emails and working out what bureaucratic nightmares still need to be endured. Vive la Révolution!
